18-12 Billiard

One more to wrap up the year!

I don't know about this pipe. The lines and proportions are off a bit. As usual any critique is welcome!

Nice stain! I'm not an expert by any means- especially when it comes to Billiards. However, by my eye I think the main issue is the back line, on the bottom half. I think you actually need to take more off.

It may just be the angle too, but I think I see a slight deviation on the bottom line, right by the cheeks.

Even still, it's looking pretty good. I rather like the stain work!

Cheers!

I think you're right....

Maybe a little more off the bottom of the bowl?

[The Smoking Yeti]

I'd let someone else chime in before you acted on that, but that'd be my personal take. A bit off the bottom, and a bit off the back. Possibly stop looking at the pipe for a day or so- then look at it again and see what strikes you.

It's almost leaning toward being a dublin.

The shank is tapering a bit much I think, and throwing a little confusion on the shape. Possibly the bottom possibly the top - possibly both, but if you harden that up a bit the bowl shape will pop out more clearly.

Sas is just being nice, the truth is that pipe sucks. It is way too small, and if you threw it at Ernie it wouldn't even draw blood. Now go make a man's pipe

ps, I love the stain work, and the stem work, in fact I like the pipe a lot

"confusion"

I think you nailed it, Sas. I always seem confused. Too bad my photography skills suck. It really looks better in person.

If I threw it at Ernie it might blow away in the wind. It only weighs an ounce.
